Meet the latest class of newbies you'll be wearing soon, from New York to Paris.

Marissa Webb

Marissa Webb

A disciple of J.Crew’s Jenna Lyons, Korean-born Marissa Webb spent over a decade at the retailer, holding positions including Head of Womenswear and Accessories Design. After her departure, the fashion set was wondering where and what she’d do next. Spring 2013 marks the launch of her namesake label. A mix of masculine and feminine qualities (Webb states she grew up a tomboy), her collection (so we hear) exemplifies a playful notion of femininity while embedding masculine elements in the DNA of her designs. This is one collection that's been very eagerly awaited.

BROOD

BROOD

With model-worthy good looks, German-born designer Serkan Sarier has been gaining some serious attention from the fashion set since launching his label, BROOD in October 2010. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp (which counts individuals like Vincent van Gogh and Kris Van Assche as past alumni), worked under Emanuel Ungaro on couture collections, and has since spent time under the creative direction of Giambattista Valli, Haider Ackermann and Olivier Theyskens, before he ventured off on his own. Now, he counts Emma Watson and Rihanna as devoted clientele (among others), and Barneys New York picked up his first collection.
